The document introduces competency-based education (CBE) as an approach focused on mastering practical skills through defined competencies, emphasizing flexible pacing and assessment of learners. It contrasts this with outcome-based education (OBE), which centers around attaining predefined educational goals and encourages high standards and performance metrics. Both educational models aim to enhance learning effectiveness but face challenges in aligning with traditional evaluation methods.

2. Competency-based education is an approach to teaching & learning
more often used in learning concrete skills than abstract learning.
Large skill sets are broken down into competencies, which may
have sequential level of mastery. Competencies reinforce one
another from basic to advance as learning process.
Competencies with in different contexts may require
different bundles of skills, knowledge & attitudes. In essence
CBE is a process, not a product.
Introduction

3. “Competency based education focuses on outcome of
learning. CBE addresses what the learners are expected to do
rather than on what they expected to learn about.”
• “ Richards and Rodgers”
“Competency – based education programs are an alternative
way for learners to gain the skills employers want from
employees.”
Competency based education is an outcome focused approach
that concentrates on the mastery of skills at the learners pace

7. Flexible training approaches including large group methods, small
group activities & individual study are essential components.
Satisfactory completion of training is based on achievement of all
specified competencies.
Variety of support materials including print, audiovisual &
stimulations (models) key to the skills being mastered is used.
Method of instruction involves mastery learning, that premise that
all participants can master the required knowledge or skills,
provided sufficient time & appropriate training methods are used.
Characteristics

8. Function of competency based education
CURRICULAR
CRITERION
 The curriculum gives learners a clear indication
of what is expected of them in terms of
performance, conditions & standard.
Also, if appropriate, workplace and off the job
training and assessment responsibilities should be
identified.

9. Delivery is flexible & learners can exercise
initiative in the learning process.
Learning materials used by providers indicate the
degree to which program delivery is learner
centered
DELIVERY

ASSESSMENT
CRITERION
 Measure performance demonstrated
against a specified competence standard.
 Be available for competencies gained
outside the course.
 Include workplace or off the job
components if appropriate.

10. 
Reports of competencies gained should be provided to
learners.

Reporting may be in terms of completed modules provided
that the relationship between competencies and modules is
understood.

CERTIFICATION
CRITERION
Person demonstrating all prescribed
competences in an accredited course or
training programme should obtain a
credential or statement of attainment
which is recognized with the national
framework.

11. Step 1: Understand the benefits and challenges of competency
based education.
Step 2: Evaluate and catalogue the objectives of academic
program.
Step 3: Review the curriculum structure of programme and the
list of core competencies, if available.
Process Of Competency Based Education

12. Step 4: Consider adding missing disciplines and skill
sets to existing program.
Step 5: Make the core competencies of program
publicly visible.
Step 6: Solicit feedback from students, graduates,
faculty, & alumni to continue revising and optimizing
core competencies & associated curricular offerings.

13. Downloadable mode empowers to offer education in a
dynamic from to students. Student can assess lesson,
assignments & submit their script online.
They can downloaded their lesson notes & assess archived lessons,
tutorial sessions, lectures etc.
Method of instruction involves mastery learning, that premise that all
participants can master the required knowledge or skills, provided
sufficient time & appropriate training methods are used.

INTERACTION
The interactive learning provides an
environment for students to talk &
discuss freely about any related
topics online.
There are two ways of classroom
interaction.

Client server models that works with
internet relay chat server protocol, it
allows servers to connect to each other
effectively forming a network. Protocol
is used by servers to talk to each other.
Instructor & participants can talk with
each other & discuss on related topic for
stipulated time given by the instructor.

16. Mailing
group
Participants can become member of
mailing group by registering their names
in their group. Once approved by the
instructor, participants can post their
questions to this group ID.
This way course instructor or any other
participant can reply to questions that
will be read by all the members in that
group including the instructor.

17. Advantages of CBE
Participant builds confidence as they succeed in mastering
specific competencies.
Participant will achieve competencies required in the
performance of their job.
Self pacing: - participants can move quickly through material
they know or take more time if they need it.
Participants receive a transcript or list of the competencies they
have achieved.
Provide standards for determining how well learning has
occurred both at the individuals & organizational level.

18. A CBE course is only as effective as the process used to
identify the competencies. When little or no attention is given to
identification of the essential job skills, then the resulting
training course is likely to be ineffective.
Unless initial training & follow up assistance is provided for
the trainers, there is tendency to “teach as we were taught” &
CBT trainers quickly slip back into the role of the traditional
teacher.

20. Outcome
based
education

21. Introduction
 Outcome based education is an theory that bases education
around pre-defined goals (outcome).
By the end of the education experience, each student is expected
to have achieved that goal.
It is also called standards based education reforms, mastery
education, & performance based education.

22. Definition
Outcome based education (OBE) is a process that involves the
restructuring of curriculum, assessment & reporting practices in
education to reflect the achievement of high order learning &
mastery rather than the accumulation of course credits.
In outcome based learning, all school programs & instructional
efforts are designed to have produced specific, lasting results in
students by the time they leave school.

23. Characteristics
 It has program objective, program outcomes, & performance
indicators.
 It is objective & outcome driven, where every stated objective &
outcome can be assessed & evaluated.
 Program objectives address the graduate attainment within 3-5
years after their graduation.
 Program outcomes, which consist of abilities to be attained by
students before they graduate, are formulated based on the
program objective.

24. Four Essential
Principles In OBE
Clarity of
focus
Teachers should focus on helping students to
develop the knowledge, skills & personalities that
will enable them to achieve the intended outcome
that have been clearly articulated.
Designing
Down
It means that the curriculum design must starts with a
clear definition of the intended outcomes that students
are to achieve by the end of the program.
Once this has been done all instructional decision are
then made to ensure achieve this desired end result.

25. High
Expecta
tions
It means that teachers should establish high, challenging standards
of performance in order to encourage students to engage deeply in
what they are learning.
Helping students to achieve high standards is linked very closely
with the idea that successful learning promotes more successful
learning.
Expanded
Opportun
ities
Teachers must strive to provide expanded opportunities for
all students.
This principle is based on the idea that not all learners can
learn the same thing in the same way & in the same time.
Most students can achieve high standards if they are given
appropriate opportunities.

26. Process Of OBE
Step 1: Establish student learning goals (SLG) as miserable
learning objective.
Step 2: Develop specific assessment.
Step 3: Develop comprehensive assessment- tools to assess &
measure each criteria.
Step 4: Collect data from assessed student learning goal using.
Step 5: Analyze assessment data.
Step 6: Use data to improve student learning & report for
accreditation.

27. Benefits Of OBE
Promotes high expectations & greater learning for all
students.
Prepare students for life & work values, attitudes &
beliefs.
Encourages decision making regarding curriculum,
teaching methods, school structure & management at each
school or district level.

28. Disadvantages Of OBE
Outcome based education is that it conflicts with the
admission requirement and practices of some colleges &
universities.
Outcome based learning focus on feeling, values, attitudes
& beliefs over attaining factual knowledge.
Outcome based education also relies on evaluation that are
subjective, rather than objective tests & measurements.

30. SUMMARY
Today I had discussed about the
introduction, definition, purpose,
procedures, characteristics,
function, process, advantages,
disadvantages of Competency &
Outcome Based Education.

31. Conclusion
Competency based education approach allows students to
advance based on their ability to master a skill or competency
at their own pace regardless of environment.
Outcome based education is an theory that bases education
around pre defined goals by the end of the educational
experiences, each students is expected to have achieve that
goal.
